My notes on this book:
- The beginning is very funny. Usually I feel a bit bored reading the introduction part but I think Morrow knows how to entertain while building the story.
- I notice the further unto the story it gets more serious. It doesn’t lose its humor but it’s like I was offered another focus, another things to enjoy. At some points it even raises interesting points for debates and discussion if you want to.
- I love the idea of unadmitted future and invalidated past. And I love the trial. Awesome ideas.
- Towards the end, I feel like it could stop at several points and called it the end and I would feel it’s finished. Depending on where it stops, I would feel triumph, sad, more sad, weird, face-palming, and devastated. I think this is the part where I decided to rate this book 4.
- I feel like I’m missing something in the epilogue because I’m not familiar with Notradamus.

"I think I will like Morrow’s humor. If I’m reading the ebook version, I’ll highlight the whole paragraph where George & Justin fight."

"George took his Leonardo back and departed with the words ‘restore the race’ ringing in his ears. There, you see, my poor, extinct Justine? You did not marry a lazy man after all."

"Dr Randstable, wasn’t it rather bizarre to be perfecting all these clever technologies knowing that their purpose was essentially psychological — that if they were actually fired, then the world would be better off if they didn’t work?"

"The dogmas of the quite past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves.... - Abraham Lincoln"
